2012 Vineman Ironman 70.3 Waitlist Info & Policy

The information posted below should help clarify the waitlist process. Please be sure to read through it before contacting the Vineman office.

IMPORTANT: You will be required to pay $25 to register for the waitlist. This money will be applied to your entry once you have cleared the waitlist and are able to register for the race. (If you remove your name from the waitlist, deciding not to race, you will NOT receive back the $25 fee). You are, however, able to use the $25 toward a different Vineman event on July 28, 2012 if you decide to register for one of those events. You will not be able to use the money toward an event in 2013.

* As a registered athlete informs us that they are withdrawing from the race their name will be removed from the participant list and the first name on the waitlist will then be contacted via email by the Vineman office to let them know they have been cleared to register for the race.

* Once informed, you will have 5 days in which to register online. If you do not register in this allotted amount of time your name will be removed from the list. It is your responsibility to track your progress on the waitlist. If you notice that there is a date next to your name, this means you were sent an acceptance email from Amy. If you did not receive the email you need to email amy@vineman.com.

* If, during the time that your name is on the waitlist, you decide that you no longer wish to race Vineman Ironman 70.3, please advise us and ask that your name be removed...please be considerate of your fellow athletes on the list!!!

*If you are accepted into the race from the waitlist but not able to compete, you are NOT allowed to give your spot to someone else. Your spot will go to the person next in line on the waitlist.

* Please do not call to inform us of your “special circumstances” and why you should bypass the waitlist and be placed in the race. You are asking us to make a decision as to who is less deserving to race than yourself. With the exception of 2008, everyone that was on the wait list was eventually entered into the race. In 2010 we had well over 500 people on the waitlist and all made it in. In 2011 we had over 700 people that made it into the race from the waitlist.

Please note: A waitlist will be located on the Vineman website for you to view your status. The waitlist is updated daily (Mon - Fri).

The wait list will be terminated on June 10 which is also the last day to request a refund.


Thanks In Advance,
The Vineman Staff
